A concise guide to the world of cinema, tv, and games through the eyes of a sociopath

Serena: An Adult Fairytale (1980)

Plot: Cindy (Serena) was solid into prostitution by her evil stepfather, which means now she is a menial worker at a brothel. She does all the chores like cooking and cleaning, but she also has to make herself available for more…personal tasks. When a client wants anal sex, Cindy is paraded out to take one for the team. She also eats out the other girls, licks their feet, and is generally treated like trash. But things start to look up a little when she is visited by her naked, teleporting fairy godmother (China Leigh). The brothel will soon host a big party for the Prince (Paul Thomas), but Cindy is sure she will be left out. With a little luck and help from her fairy godmother however, can Cindy find true love and leave her life of indentured servitude?

Entertainment Value: Just as a heads up, despite the film’s title, Serena: An Adult Fairytale doesn’t really play like a porn Cinderella. The story is there of course, but there’s not much to lend it that magical feel of a fairy tale. You do have the teleportation of a naked fairy godmother and a trashy guy wearing an awesome leather top hat, but really, just the narrative lives up to the premise. And the story is really thin even by classic porn standards, with little downtime between sex scenes. There are other adult versions of Cinderella, but Serena focuses on the flesh over humor or visual design. The movie is short and loaded with sex of various types, so if you can live without the fairy tale angle and just love classic porn, give it a look.

This is a hardcore porno, so there’s plenty of naked people and sex. Some highlights include a girl rubbing her cooch and ass all over a doorway, a kitchen floor threesome, and a chick smoking a cigar with her vagina. You also have the normal oral, anal, vaginal, and soap up the other girls in the shower scenes, so Serena: An Adult Fairytale more than delivers on the naughtiness. No blood in this one, as its just a sex flick with some comedy, no horror elements. Some awkward phrases elicit some laughs, but there’s more fucking than dialogue in this movie. There are some wacky scenes in Serena: An Adult Fairytale, but it never embraces the gonzo and just focuses on sex.
